This book takes as its subject the most important kind of surviving
post-Reformation church art and the most important genre of English
Renaissance sculpture, the carved stone funeral monument. These
complex constructions, comprising not just sculpted figures but
also architectural framing, heraldic decoration and inscribed text,
were set up in huge numbers during the years around 1600 and still
survive in their thousands in parish churches across England. This
is a comprehensive account of the subject, Llewellyn examines the
place of the tomb in the historiography of English art, issues of
patronage and the business of erecting a monument, the tomb-makers,
their world and the materials, and Reformist iconoclasm in England
and its impact on the tombs. The volume is lavishly illustrated
with rare photographs of tombs and monuments and offers a valuable
and informative record of one of England's greatest treasures.
